Question

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have $64.25 to spend on

parking and admission. Parking is $9.25, and tickets cost $13.75 per person,
including tax. Which equation could be used to determine x, the number of people
who can go to the amusement park?

Answer 1

To find the total cost you would multiply the cost per person by the amount of a ticket and then add the parking fee.

Since you have the total they can spend you can use that for the total:

Answer: 64.25 = 13.75x + 9.25
